Grow Your Own Cut Flower Garden – Tuesday, April 9th, 5:30-7:30 pm

Join us for this hands-on workshop where guests will learn all the basics of growing cut flowers and will seed and take home a tray of warm season annuals that will be great for cutting! We have chosen varieties that are easiest to germinate and grow into seedlings including sunflowers, zinnias, cosmos, basil, celosia, amaranthus,  marigolds, and  even purple hyacinth bean to grow up a trellis. These seedlings should be ready to transplant into the garden just about the time of our last expected frost. Each participant will seed into a 72 cell plug tray filled with seed starting soil. In addition to the seeds, tray, and soil, each will also receive a bottom tray for watering,  landscape fabric that can be used for no-till bed prep and/or weed barrier, a handout that covers everything from seed to vase, seed catalogs from Johnny’s Seeds and The Gardener’s Workshop, and a few extra seeds for later! And this year for the first time you’ll take home one dahlia tuber!

If weather is good we’ll meet outside but if not we’ll gather in the Homeplace, 399 Bruce Doan Rd., Blountville, TN, 37617. Registration cannot be refunded but we will meet rain or shine. See below for more details. Space is limited.
